A Vital Tool for Combating Deforestation

Livestock and wildlife monitoring plays a pivotal role in preserving our planet's forests in the fight against deforestation. CERES TAG’s advanced, global animal tracking capabilities ensure food supply chains maintain transparency.

CERES TAG's Impact on Deforestation

Deforestation poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, climate stability, and indigenous communities. Addressing this challenge requires automated, continuous animal movement and behaviour data to ensure sustainable land use practices.

With CERES TAG regulators can now determine the origin of livestock produce and identify whether animals have grazed in deforested zones. This level of transparency is an innovation in the fight against deforestation and directly contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) on Life on Land by promoting sustainable land use and biodiversity conservation.

CERES TAG provides critical data which can be instrumental in:

  • Supply Chain Transparency

    CERES TAG provides traceability across the supply chain, allowing for regulators to understand the provenance of livestock produce and identify whether animals grazed in deforested zones.

  • Monitoring Wildlife Movements

    Understanding the movement patterns of wildlife can help identify critical habitats and biodiversity hotspots at risk from deforestation. CERES TAG's ability to monitor these patterns aids in creating more effective conservation strategies.

Alignment with Deforestation-Free Supply Chain Regulations

Regulations supporting deforestation-free supply chains are being enacted by parliaments around the world, such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (known as EUDR). These regulations aim to minimise global deforestation by ensuring that products entering the market do not drive forest degradation.

CERES TAG's technology supports compliance with this regulation by:

  • Providing Traceability

    Offering insights into the origins of livestock-related products, CERES TAG helps companies verify that their supply chains are not linked to deforested areas.

  • Supporting Sustainable Supply Chains

    By ensuring that agricultural and conservation practices are sustainable and do not contribute to deforestation, CERES TAG aids businesses in adhering to environmental standards, such as EUDR.

  • Facilitating Reporting and Verification

    The data gathered by CERES TAG enables verifiable evidence on conservation efforts and supply chain sustainability.
